Ingredients:

• 1 lb extra firm tofu
• 1/4 c each: whole wheat flour, fine corn meal & quick oats
• 1/2 c parsley tops or fresh basil leaves, washed & dried
• 1 tsp each paprika, coriander, cumin
• 1/2 tsp dried basil or thyme
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• pinch cayenne
• 1/2 tsp salt and-or 1 Tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce
• Optional: asefetida (hing) or garlic

1. Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium with olive oil, or your favorite cooking oil
2. Add a pinch of asefetida (hing) or a crushed garlic clove to the oil for extra flavor
3. Cut tofu into 1 inch chunks, and add to food processor
4. If you don't have one, mash by hand or with a potato masher, and finely chop the parsley or basil first
5. Throw in everything else and mix well by hand, or on low in the food processor just until it all clumps up
6. Form into eight 3 - 4 inch patties
7. Fry in small amount of oil, on medium heat, 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown

Cooking Tips:

Use leftover tofu veggie burger mix to make sloppy joes, or scambled tofu. Cold veggie burgers make great sandwiches.

Improvise freely with the seasonings and grains. But if you want onions, use them on the outside, not the inside - they make the veggie burger mixture too wet.

Serving Suggestions:

In summer, serve tofu burgers with all your favorite veggie burger fixings, corn on the cob, and potato salad.

Any time, serve tofu burgers with home fried potatoes, and carrot apple salad.

For a light meal, skip the bun, and serve tofu burgers with steamed veggies or a green salad or carrot apple salad.
